Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a guide to the classic board game of Abalone. Using more than half of the book, it covers the rules of the original game of Abalone, its variants (including multiplayer variants for up to 6 players), but also introduces new ideas, such as alternative setups and handicapping, to make the game more accessible for a wider audience. An essay about the future of Abalone illustrates the ongoing quest for understanding this interesting game. -- The second part of the book describes the complete rules of *fifteen* other games playable on an Abalone board; just add marbles. -- This fifth edition is totally revised, with many corrections and enhancements, and contains a brand new game TaiHanGi, invented by Bruno.
